SHPING APP TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT
User Terms and Conditions of Use
1. General
Welcome to the Shping App. You are reading these Terms and Conditions of Use (Terms) because you are accessing or using the Shping App (the App), which is operated by Authenticateit Pty Ltd (ACN 155 162 253) trading as Shping (Shping or us). To continue accessing or using the App, you agree to be bound to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the App. From time to time, we may update these Terms and/or provide you with supplemental terms via the App or by email. Such supplemental terms will also form part of these Terms from time to time.
2. Privacy Policy and Personal Data
The App cannot be provided to you, and the services described in these Terms cannot be performed, without Shping collecting, storing and processing data about you, including your personal data and location data. The App is made available to you subject to you consenting to our collection and use of your personal information and other data. When you use the App, we collect certain personal information about you, as well as information about your device, your interaction with the App, and other information necessary to facilitate your use of the App. The personal information we collect through the App may include your name, date of birth, address, email address, phone number, your location and user history, your device (including its version, specifications and operating system), your IP address, time zone, your financial details (including banking and integrated digital wallet details), and applicable government identification. The App will collect this information while open on your device and may collect location-specific information while it is open in the background of your device. With the exception of third party apps whose data is integrated into the App, the App will not collect information regarding your activity in other apps on your device. Please refer to the terms and conditions of service relevant to such third party apps. We will use your personal information to provide the App and its content to you.
We may also:
- use your personal information for marketing purposes (including, but not limited to, sharing your personal information with third party user brands, and providing you product recommendations, information and offers) if you consent to such use; and
- display your name and location on the App with respect to any content you share to the App, if you consent to such use.
These requirements in relation to privacy are supplementary to Shping’s Privacy Policy (Privacy Policy), which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. In particular, your personal information will be treated in accordance with the Privacy Policy’s provisions relating to the sharing of your personal information, the use of your personal information, our lawful bases for using and retaining your personal information, and your rights under privacy and data laws.
3. Account Information
You are only eligible to use the App if you are 18 years of age. To use the App, you must create an account by providing your email address and primary phone number. You will receive a secure login PIN via email or SMS to access your account. In creating an account and registering your details, you agree to:
- provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself (User Data);
- to keep your registration personal – you must only register one account, and you should not register an account on behalf of someone else, or transfer your account to any other person;
- to maintain and properly update your User Data; and
- You are solely responsible for keeping your account and User Data secure. As Shping uses a passwordless login method, you must ensure that access to your email and mobile device is protected. Shping, to the maximum extent permitted by law, takes no responsibility for any loss or activity resulting from unauthorised access to your account. You must notify Shping immediately if you suspect any unauthorised use of your account.
4. Services
Shping agrees to provide the App to you for use on a mobile device in accordance with these Terms. The App enables you to receive rewards, in the form of Shping Coins, in exchange for participation in certain activities (including through loyalty programs provided in-App), as outlined in the App (Services). Shping may advertise promotions from time to time, the terms of which will be outlined in the App. Shping reserves the right to alter, modify or discontinue any or all Services at any time and without notification as it sees fit. Any requirements in relation to Services are supplementary to Shping’s Fair Usage Policy (Fair Usage Policy), which is incorporated by reference into these Terms.
5. Verification Requirements
To use the Services, you must satisfy our verification requirements. You must provide us with any information that we request so that we can verify your identity and detect any money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud or other financial crimes in accordance with applicable laws. Information may include certain personal information, including, but not limited to, your name, address, phone number, email address, date of birth, taxpayer or other government identification, and bank account information. We may request that you provide further information or meet further requirements as required under law, or that may be reasonably necessary to protect our interests.
You authorise Shping to:
- collect, access, process and retain any information you provide for the purposes of the verification requirements;
- make any inquiries that we consider to be necessary to verify your identity and to protect against fraud or other financial crimes. These inquiries may be made either directly or through third parties; and
- disclose any personal information that may be necessary as a result of those inquiries. Information given to fulfil verification requirements must be accurate and authentic and you must immediately inform us if any of the information you provide changes.
6. Wallet and Redemptions
- Shping will provide each account holder with a digital wallet, which is owned and controlled by Shping (the “Wallet”). Shping will transfer any Shping Coins you earn from the Services into your Wallet.
- You may request a redemption of Shping Coins earned from eligible activities (a “Redemption Request”) through the App. Redemption options include cash or cryptocurrency, subject to eligibility and limits as outlined in the App.
- For cash redemptions, eligible Shping Coins will be transferred to Coinbase Australia for conversion to Australian Dollars (AUD). This may require conversion to USDC first. The proceeds will then be deposited via Revolut Payments Australia Pty Ltd into the user’s nominated bank account. Timing and availability of funds are subject to third-party processing and may vary.
- For crypto redemptions, Shping will facilitate the transfer of the eligible amount of Shping Coins from your in-App Wallet to a supported Coinbase wallet provided by you. Shping does not permit transfers to non-integrated or unsupported wallets.
- Shping does not allow users to trade, purchase, or sell Shping Coins directly within the App. Any such transactions must be carried out through third-party exchanges, such as Coinbase Australia, subject to their terms and conditions.
- Shping makes no guarantees about the market value, liquidity, or future usability of Shping Coins. Shping Coins are not legal tender, do not represent a right to payment or redemption, and may hold no inherent monetary value at any time. Holding Shping Coins in the App Wallet does not create any financial or ownership interest in Shping or its affiliates. Unredeemed Shping Coins remain the sole property of Shping until redemption. Members’ rights are limited to requesting redemption in accordance with these Terms. Shping may use unredeemed Coins for operational, investment, or development purposes at its discretion, provided that redemption requests are honoured subject to applicable limits. Shping Coins are provided as part of a marketing rewards program and do not constitute deposits, stored value, or investment products. They may only be redeemed in accordance with the program rules. By using the App, you acknowledge that Shping is not acting as a bank, custodian, or financial services provider in respect of unredeemed Shping Coins.
- Shping may deny or delay redemptions at its sole discretion, including but not limited to reasons relating to fraud prevention, account verification, security reviews, regulatory compliance, or other operational needs. Redemption limits and withdrawal fees are disclosed in the App and may be updated from time to time without prior notice. By using the App, you acknowledge that redemption is not guaranteed at any specific time and may be subject to delay or rejection at Shping’s discretion. Members acknowledge that Shping Coins are promotional loyalty benefits and not custodial assets. Redemption is a discretionary program feature, not a financial service. Coins do not confer a right to immediate payment and are redeemable only in line with program limits and availability.
- You are solely responsible for ensuring that all details provided for redemption, including banking or crypto wallet information, are accurate and current. Shping is not liable for failed transactions resulting from incorrect user input.
- You are permitted to make one redemption request at a time, and Shping reserves the right to reject any request that is deemed fraudulent, in breach of these Terms, or otherwise ineligible.
- Shping reserves the right to impose daily, weekly, or monthly limits on redemption amounts or frequencies, including promotional or bonus rewards.
- Shping reserves the right to modify or discontinue redemption options at any time without prior notice, provided this does not affect rights already accrued at the time of change.
- While Shping implements appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the Wallet, you acknowledge and accept that no system is completely secure. By holding Shping Coins in your in-App Wallet, you assume the associated risk, including the possibility of unauthorised access or security breaches. You are encouraged to redeem your eligible rewards regularly. In the event of a compromise where Shping Coins are stolen or fraudulently obtained, Shping reserves the right to proportionally adjust user Wallet balances to reflect the loss.
- Use of Unredeemed Coins Shping may, at its sole discretion, utilise unredeemed Shping Coins for its internal business operations, including but not limited to research, development, and investment activities. This utilisation does not affect Members’ contractual rights to redeem Coins, which remain subject to the redemption limits, conditions, and program rules specified in these Terms.

Failure to observe these criteria may result in your account being suspended or terminated at Shping’s discretion. Failure to observe these criteria may also result in rewards not being paid to you or only being partially paid.
8. Loyalty Club
8.1 Loyalty Club and Loyalty Club Programs
As part of the Services, the App hosts various loyalty reward programs which you may register for (Loyalty Club). Shping operates the Loyalty Club in collaboration with various approved brands (each a Brand) who in turn operate respective loyalty reward programs (each a Loyalty Club Program).
While the Loyalty Club is hosted by Shping, the rules and rewards which govern each Loyalty Club Program are provided by the respective Brand. It is your responsibility to read and review the rules and reward structure provided under a Loyalty Club Program including eligibility requirements for any purchases you make in respect of a Loyalty Club Program.

It is your responsibility to familiarise yourself with these terms and conditions (where applicable)
8.2 Restriction on Rebates
Rebates which may be provided to you from time to time as part of membership with a Loyalty Club Program are subject to any rebate limitations provided by Shping or the respective Brand including, but not limited to, restrictions on purchase location, purchase at recommended retail price or purchase limit requirements.
Rebate restrictions (if any) will be made available on the App at the point of purchase.
8.3 Brand Powers
Each Brand as the operator of their respective Loyalty Club Program, may:
- change or amend the rules and rewards provided by the Loyalty Club Program from time to time;
- suspend the Loyalty Club Program or any part of the Loyalty Club Program at their own discretion; and
- stipulate eligibility conditions under which you may be provided entry into the Loyalty Club Program.
In the event of suspension of a Loyalty Club Program, any rewards, perks or other benefits provided in relation to the suspended Loyalty Club Program will cease from the date of suspension. This will not apply to any purchases validly made prior to the suspension of the relevant Loyalty Club Program.
